Good thing is I just phoned night bridge doctors they said currently they have appointments for a few days to a week. So at least that cuts away some time current price is £235.00 I tell you this process is becoming a small fortune lol

Unfortunately, the bad news is that it's only going to go up.. :(

You've still got the MRV fee to pay online, then when you actually get over there you've got AOS to do as well. But it's all worth it in the end.

I did some tiresome work on the USCIS site by changing the last 3 digits and there are a number of May filers who have been given RFEs between May 8th and May 16th. I think 3 or 4. More May filers a

Nope, not a peep from them. Having looked at some of the other I-129F's as me at VSC, they're also waiting for something to happen. That being said if I've not heard by around the end of the month, I'll send an email to the Ombudsman pointing out that there seem to be a bunch of us stuck at VSC in limbo and we either need a transfer or adjudication. While we're technically not outside of processing times until October, I'm thinking it's best to nip any potential problems like this in the bud early. The worst that can happen is they say to email again in October instead.

Yes those famous words they like to use to fob people off. Your still within the processing timeframe. It's not nice i know. I can see a lot of people are frustrated waiting on approvals. I would be too if I was still waiting. I guess I was lucky I had a not so lazy person pick up my file and approve. I sometimes wonder if they have a specific quota as in the amount of files they need to do in a working day or do they just do whatever there energy levels permits them to do in a day. Who knows how it works. I hope you guys waiting here something soon.

Yes the AOS seems to be the mother of the bunch. Then we got to sit at home for 3 possibly 6 months before we can even make the money back. God help us all!!!

As do I. Originally, if we got approved in October I'd have not batted an eye at that because it's within processing. The issue here for me (and maybe others) is how things have gone. First we had the first wave of transfers to Texas in June - then this sudden surge of approvals from VSC for the May filers - now anything going to VSC is re-routed to TSC and the surge has stopped. So I'm a touch concerned that we're going to get left behind like what happened before to the Dec/Jan filers.

Yes saw that stuff with the dec lot it was the same thing with the June 2012 lot unfortunately it seems they go through these periods where people's files just stay in limbo. Not very nice for the people waiting in limbo. They really need to work out a process where it is done on a first come first serve bases. If I went into a Que in McDonald's and cut the line someone is going to tell me about it or they may keep quiet and not say anything if its in the UK. But if I did the same in the US trust me someone will definitely say something seen it happen many times when people are annoyed about something. They are very vocal. So in this case you have a right to be vocal. I truelly pray you guys do not end up like the June and dec lot.

Yes the AOS seems to be the mother of the bunch. Then we got to sit at home for 3 possibly 6 months before we can even make the money back. God help us all!!!

I can't agree more.. Our AOS is going to be almost just as much as the plane tickets. $1070 for me and $635 x 3 for my kids. cray5ol.gif

But yes.. going to be so worth it. No money can buy Love. Love is felt, not bought!!

Just a quick update: Got my MTL case number. NVC received my file today, and it is still processing there. The NOA2 date was August 1st. Hope others get their soon. smile.png

Also, once you have your case number, you can check for updates from the DOS here: https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx? Make sure to select "immigrant visa". This may be more convenient than calling to see when the consulate gets it.

hello... congrats,,,we are still waiting for our case number,,, its been 16 days now since noa2... we gonna call this coming friday... thanks for the link and Godbless :)

Has anyone else received an RFE in early August (ours was August 1) and sent the evidence in already? Last night we got an email from USCIS:

On August 19, 2013, we received your response to our request for evidence. This case is being processed at our CALIFORNIA SERVICE CENTER location. If you move while this case is pending, please use our Change of Address online tool to update your case with your new address or call our customer service center at 1-800-375-5283. We will notify you by mail when we make a decision or if we need something from you. You should expect to receive a written decision or written update within 60 days of the date we received your response unless fingerprint processing or an interview are standard parts of case processing and have not yet been completed, in which case you can use the processing time information on our website to estimate when this case will be done. If you move while this case is pending, please use our Change of Address online tool to update your case with your new address or call our customer service center at 1-800-375-5283.

Once a timely response to the request for evidence is received by USCIS, we review the evidence or information you submitted. If you submitted the requested evidence, we continue with the adjudication of your application or petition in light of the new evidence.

Does this mean that we should expect our NOA2 soon? In the email (the above was copied + pasted from USCIS website) it stated something about a decision being made within 60 days. Has anyone else received a similar message after submitting RFEs?

I am hoping our wait is slowly getting shorter! Also, after the NOA2 is received, how long does it take to receive your appointment notice for the consulate, etc?

Has anyone else received an RFE in early August (ours was August 1) and sent the evidence in already? Last night we got an email from USCIS:

On August 19, 2013, we received your response to our request for evidence. This case is being processed at our CALIFORNIA SERVICE CENTER location. If you move while this case is pending, please use our Change of Address online tool to update your case with your new address or call our customer service center at 1-800-375-5283.

Basically what they are saying to you is that they have noted your response to the rfe. If you don't get a reply in 60 days you can make a service request when you call them up.

Hey HunNee

I just got like a photo album for all the pics then arrange them by dates with the date written at the back with pen. Then the other stuff I just got a big folder with plastic see though sheets and inserted stuff. Starting with my medical stuff that's needed since that's my next step. The actual documents I sent to uscis are right at the back of the folder since they already have a copy. They won't needed but I wanted to keep things together for the AOS adjustment. This way everything stays together. Next week am going to get the required US passport pictures. It's good your getting yourself prepped.

Thanks Nurseling!

Thanks Nurseling. I am not stressed, as we have every reason to believe we will be approved (and yes we gave them everything they asked for and then even a letter from my friend who will be one of the witness to our marriage)... I am, like most of us here, eager to get the ball rolling so I can be interviewed and eventually able to live with my fiancé in the U.S. I guess the fact that we've had an RFE from USCIS and then the receipt of them receiving the package is a good thing. So we'll continue to wait dancin5hr.gif
